Embrace National Grilled Cheese Month the next time you are at the Co-op. Although the classic approach to the grilled cheese is tasty, it can sometimes get boring after a while. Embrace this month to try something new! Ask one of our lovely cheesemongers at the cheese counter for advice on which cheeses melt the best. We also offer a delicious grilled cheese option in our deli department, sharp cheddar, red onions, apples & Dijon mustard on sourdough.

You'll find them at the end of Aisle 1, past the bulk and raw foods, and close to the west end of the beer cooler. We stock most of the hardware you'll need, malted barley, hops, yeasts, water salts, and adjuncts.

We hope to serve both those starting to brew and folks who are getting further into it. For specific questions and special orders, please write to Peter Jensen.

We need to treat that groundwater well so it will be there for future droughts.” Another co-author likens the groundwater situation to "a slow-moving train wreck."]]>“California’s agricultural economy overall is doing remarkably well, thanks mostly to groundwater reserves,” said Jay Lund, a co-author of the study and director of the university’s Center for Watershed Sciences. “But we expect substantial local and regional economic and employment impacts.

Senator Pat Leahy and Rep. Pete DeFazio were writers of the Federal legislation that established the National Organic Program (NOP) in the US Department of Agriculture. The National Organic Coalition - which includes the National Cooperative Grocers' Association, our cooperative-of-food cooperatives - is drawing attention to their letter to the NOP, criticizing the change to policy about "sunsetting" synthetic materials that certified organic farmers are temporarily allowed to apply to plants. They object to both the substance of the decision and the restrictive and flawed process by which the NOP decided to turn the policy "on its head."

It is one of the more-read features, according to every survey we've done. And it attracted the attention of Bill Buchanan, the host of "Davisville," a long-running program on KDRT-LP, our low-power community radio station. The Co-op's Membership Director, and Suggestion Box contributor, Doug Walter spoke with Bill about what people say and how they say it, in January 2014.

Did you know that you can submit suggestions on line? We still receive most suggestions on paper, in the store, but many people are now using this electronic link, and we're happy to have your ideas and comments.

We know it as a condiment stocked in the Produce section, in the cold case opposite Mermaid Sushi. We may not all know, though, that it is also a quiet star in several Deli recipes, including our Tofu Cashew Spread. Perhaps there's something to this:

"As I tried it on a range of foods both plain and jazzed up with various extras like sriracha, slowly but surely, I realized its motto was right. Vegenaise, shockingly, tastes better than mayo. As an added bonus, it has less saturated fat and cholesterol than the regular stuff. And while many meat substitutes have ingredient lists that read like a science experiment, Vegenaise actually has no additives or preservatives. I’ve also noticed that after indulging, I do not have that same heavy, weighed-down feeling in my stomach that I’ve come to associate with a hearty dose of the egg-based stuff."

http://davisfood.coop/posts/85#commentsTue, 10 Dec 2013 00:00:00 -0600Davis Food Co-ophttp://davisfood.coop/posts/85There's at least one nutritional advantage you can gain by using whole milk that is from cows in an organically-certified dairy. "In the first large-scale study to compare milk from organic and conventional dairies across the United States, the researchers found significantly higher levels of heart-healthy fatty acids in organic milk.

The reason is that organically raised cows eat more grass and less corn and other grain-based feed than their conventional counterparts, said lead author Charles Benbrook, of Washington State University’s Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources."
